The Unilateral Labeling Authority for Purposes of Obliteration, aka McCarthyism on Steroids
I think Trump and his minions have assigned to themselves unilateral labeling authority. Some examples of this Label and Obliterate process include:
the "Antifa" label, to be applied to protesters, activists, journalists, media organizations, career officials who resist politicization, Democrats, et al; to justify them being imprisoned, censored, deprived of access, defunded, subjected to extortion, etc.;
the “Terrorist” label (broadly used to accuse various people and entities of “Terrorist” affilations); along with its lethal variation, “Narco-Terrorist,” to be applied to Venezuelans (and now, potentially Mexicans); to justify defenseless civilians being murdered with impunity;
the “Anti-Semitic” label, to be applied both to anyone who objects to the Israeli genocide/ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and to anyone who allows such objections a platform—including activists, politicians, journalists and universities; to justify them being: imprisoned; deported; illegally deprived of funds already granted; generally defunded; deprived of tax-exempt status; and/or subjected to extortion; and
the “Woke” label, casting DEI in a negative light; to be applied to people, the military, law firms, universities, museums, politicians, liberal organizations, et al; to justify: the elimination of policies that promote equal opportunity or that work to counteract racism, sexism and the like; the revision of history, etc.
I always relish a CTTE newsletter post, but this one wins! Exquisitely true, sad, frightening. It makes me want to memorize and recite the opening paragraphs on random street corners— every Tuesday.
I'm convinced George Orwell was a visitor from a future time. He did his best to warn us, but arrogance and stupidity are baked into our DNA. He picked the wrong planet to try to save.
As of right now, the Midterm Elections are in one year, one month, one week, five days, sixteen hours from now.
The political opposition must become much stronger by then. Win back the House, Trump will be slowed. Win both houses of Congress, Trump is stymied.
Election Day 2028 is three years, one month, two weeks, two days, and sixteen hours from now. At most Trump has less than forty months left to wreak havoc. But it is not that long, really.
Attached is true except for abortion...I didn't think that's on the censor list. Trump has said he would not abolish even if brought to him on platter.
A very apt comparison. I’ve only seen the 50’s version of the movie, but it was chilling. These ‘patriots’ or should I say parrots, are sticking to the script as laid out in Project 2025. Despite sounding like the robots they are, this rhetoric must be vocally and personally opposed. Oversight is much less visible than in Orwell’s book, but we have forums like this to fight back. Keep up the good work. And folks, subscribe to this site. These folks are excellent investigative journalists and they are worthy of our support.

How many fingers, Winston?
The gas chamber for the REPUBLIC beckons.
Sleepers wake!
That about pounds the last nail in the coffin on the head!
Quit pounding nails, America. Start pounding stakes.
Excellent point Bad!
Sticks and stones will be used to break our bones just as soon as our words are subverted.

Maga thinks you're sayin, "George (Washington), OH WELL". Banish the Jesters cause the DC dudes & dudettes improv their own Acts. Bronx cheers‼️

I don't believe tRump's remarks about abortion. He will outlaw it when his cultists tell him.
You don't understand how vital abortion to the Epstein birthday trafficking and also to the ivf trafficking of children, both domains of orange man.
